Provo Half Marathon 5/4

Have I mentioned how much I love half marathons?! I love that if by chance you don't train (which I have been having the tendency to do) I can still feel good and survive! :) Well this last time, was my worse training . I think I ran a total of 10 miles...for the month. I hate running with a stroller, and it's just so hard after work to keep her in the kid care longer then she needs to. And to top it off, we went to a graduation party the night before where I probably ate way to much burgers, hot dogs, chips, candy and desserts and then we didn't go to bed until about 12. I kept waking up ever hour thinking I was late and then at 3, Z woke up and only wanted me to put her back to bed. (We stayed the night at some friends in Provo). So there you have it, no sleep, no train, bad eating. And what did all that get me? MY PR! Yep. I got my best time on this one, and it was pretty emotional to say the least. I couldn't believe it. My actual time on record was 1:49:59, but according to my watch, I ran further then what a half marathon is so maybe mytime was even better then that? not sure? Anyway...here are my lovely pics afterwards. Kev is such an awesome support!

So THIS is LOVE

Our newest love

Our second love

We fell in love!

Our dating days in Logan

How it all started....

There once was a girl named Jessica Kirk. She went to college at Utah State University in Logan, UT. There, she met a boy named Keven Todd. He was from Roosevelt, UT. They were friends for sometime. They watched sports together and enjoyed living down the street from each other, but they were just friends at that time. They became snowboarding partners and loved every minute of it…snowboarding that is! Jessica broke her arm on a massive jump and Keven took care of her. Then Keven got absyss in his throat and had his tonsils removed. She took care of him. Jessica graduated USU and moved back to Corona, CA. Keven moved to Fullerton, CA to sell alarms. They continued dating and fell head over heals for each other. They realized what the right thing to do was and on Dec. 30, 2006 they were sealed for time and eternity in the San Diego temple.

Our Baby Girl

Keven served a LDS mission in Auckland New Zealand. My middle name is Marie. There are a lot of "lynn's" in my family. We wanted our daughter to have a little part of her Mommy and Daddy in her name...that's how we came up with "Zealynn Marie." We have never heard of the name before, but we thought we would see if anything came up on the internet...which we were sure there was something. This is part of what it says about "Zealynn" and we thought it would be fitting for our baby Z:

As Zealyn you are rather serious-minded, responsible, and stable.

You have the gift of tact and diplomacy, and possess a charming, easy-going nature which endears you to others.

You have a serious desire to understand the heart and mind of everyone, and could be very effective in a career or in volunteer work where you are handling people and serving in a humanitarian way.

This name also gives you a love of home and family, and as a parent you would likely be fair and understanding.
